My fear would be ordering the ticket, trying to refund it, only to be placed on hold until the plane leaves. How long have you been placed on hold when calling the airlines?

I recently heard about a similar trick where people were booking flights (that they were never intending to take) to get frequent flyer points and status and then canceling the flight. Somehow they were able to cancel their flight and KEEP THEIR FREQUENT FLIER POINTS even after it was canceled. Does anyone know which airlines this was happening on? How were they doing this? If you have enough frequent flyer points you can take free flights, access the first class lounge regardless of what class you are flying, and get free upgrades from coach to first class. Hey wait!!!

Say you book a flight to Europe which is first class, with some tickets they would allow you to downgrade without a fee, even right before the flight. So you could purchase a first class ticket and use the lounge than right before your flight you could downgrade to coach and only pay the reduced coach rate.

I have even showed the desk at the first class lounge my employee badge with my photo and they assumed that it was a club card to access the lounge and just waved me by. The same thing might work if you just raised up your tickets when you walked by the receptionist. She might just assume that they are first class tickets without even looking at them.

It would be more of a hassle if you had to go through customs both ways to buy some duty free.
